How To Make A Used Motorcycle Look Like New
Whether you want it to look nice on your next ride or you’re preparing it to be sold, just because you bought your bike used doesn't mean it has to look that way. With a few tweaks and maybe some accessories, a used motorcycle can look fresh off the assembly line.
The motorcycle experts at Wooly’s Cycles of Atlanta have put together this guide on making your motorcycle look brand new. Be sure to visit us online or at our dealership in Marietta, Georgia. We are proud to be one of the southeast’s leading motorcycle dealers.
Wash And Wax Your Used Motorcycle
A simple but effective way to make your motorcycle shine is with a quick wash and a fresh coat of wax. When you remove the built-up grime, clear away gunk, and add a nice gleam to the paint, it’s like you’re wiping away all the accumulated years so that it can shine like the day it came off the assembly line!
Get A Paint Job
Another easy way to spruce up your used bike is with a new coat of paint. Perhaps your motorcycle’s paint job has become dull and faded. Maybe years of hard riding show themselves in a pattern of scratches. It might just be that you inherited a paint job you dislike from a previous rider. Whatever the reason, you’ll be surprised by how much a simple aesthetic change can do for your bike.
Use Tire And Leather Shine
Tire and leather shine products can help a used motorcycle look its best, and you don’t even have to buy special products. You can reuse the same tire and leather shine that you bought for your car without any trouble.
Replace The Tires And Rims
A motorcycle’s tires and rims can see a lot of abuse, so every once in a while check to see if they could benefit from a replacement. If you want to get creative, manufacturers offer a range of styles for maximum customization.
Replace Seat Covers And Grips
Seat covers and grips are another part of the motorcycle that often get worn down over time. A ragged seat can make a bike look even older than it actually is, so pay attention and change it out from time to time.
If replacing the seat feels like a drag, keep in mind that you don’t have to keep it the same. Swap it out for one that has more padding or is a better fit for your size.
Remove Old Accessories
Aftermarket accessories are fun, but they can get worn down every bit as much as the rest of your bike. If your windshield is cracked or your saddlebag is falling apart, it’s time for a replacement.
